A repeat of the Abrahamic Covenant to Isaac. There was a famine in the land, just like the one Abraham encountered. Isaac decides to go down to Egypt just as Abraham had done. However, the LORD tells him not to. Isaac will remain in the Promise land his whole life. Then we will see Isaac commit the same … well sin in that it is a deception, a lie and does not protect his wife Rebekah.
As the following verses will make clear, Hashem wants to show Isaac that HE will provide the same blessing and protection to him that HE gave to his father Abraham. GOD’s instructions to Isaac echo those given to Abraham, many decades earlier (GEN 12).
DEU 31:6, “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your GOD who goes with you. HE will not leave you or forsake you.”
HEB 13:5-6, Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for HE has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
1CHRON 28:20 Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD GOD is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.
